Civic Accountability Project
Civic Accountability Project
Idea Description
The "Civic Accountability Project" ("CAP") uses existing open source technology to create more powerful and more meaningful connections between constituents and policymakers, inspiring a greater level of transparency and civic engagement. SAI works by using a unique system that has been concepted by Michael Burns, President and Co-founder of the Illinois Alliance for Parents and Children, that enables policymakers and constituents to track the progress of their conversations about pertinent issues which impact their day-to-day lives. Constituents are given a more meaningful role, while giving politicians a new incentive to stay connected in accordance with their public oath.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
If we were to win $10k, our next steps would be to formalize a plan to build Stage One of the project, by bringing together like-minded groups and individuals, primarily from the developer community, who hold a vested stake in the future success of the project. Our priorities would include the formalization of a Brand Strategy, Marketing Strategy, Development Strategy, Web site, and other basic tools that would enable us to move forward into Stage One development. We feel that in addition to the effectiveness of this concept, the overall Branding, Naming, and Marketing Strategy is central to the success in obtaining bi-partisan support for this concept on the local and national level.
Vote for it now.
Thanks for stopping by to review CAP. While the current structure of this site does not allow us to provide more information, we would be willing to provide more pertinent date as time and resources permit. If you feel as I do that the way constituents and policymakers should change in order to help create more accountability on both sides, I would encourage you to consider lending your voice to this idea for the betterment of our society. Thanks for your time and consideration. Michael Burns
Did you no that utopia is Greek for "no place"? That's just a fun fact.
